Wi-Fi is turned on but is not connected to a network. What does this mean? How do I fix it?

Hi, Kozou. Welcome to the forums!
Connect your computer to the Express's Ethernet port and open AirPort Utility. Does this allow AirPort Utility to find your Express?
If so, go through the setup process. After the Express restarts, disconnect it from the computer and connect it to your DSL, cable modem, or whatever provides your internet connection. Wait a minute or so. The light on the Express should turn green.
Now tell your MBP to join the wireless network created by the Express. You can do this using the AirPort menu or the Network pane of System Preferences.
Does this work?

To use iCloud, you must first set it up with your Apple ID on a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion.

Airport (Express) is turned on but is not connected to a network.

Hi
I am having an issue with my Airport Express set up. I have had 18 months of use of the AE for internet access (no other wireless hardware used), but have suddenly lost the wireless ability.
In my network preferences it shows the AE with an amber light (green on the actual AE) with the message "Airport is turned on but is not connected to a network". When I look at the Airport utility there is no AE showing even after multiple "rescans"
I have gone through multiple processes of turning on and off the router, AE and MBP to no avail. I have gone through soft and hard reboots to intermittent visibility in the Airport Utility. This includes direct linking MBP to AE with Ethernet cable
When the AE finally shows in the utility, i have reset all passwords etc as advised by program, but when the utility goes to restart the AE it loses it and I end up back at square one
I know the internet is working due to Ethernet directly into the MBP
I have take to a friends and they plug and play ... so know the AE works
Is there something i am not doing? Why is the AE and MBP not talking to each other?
Please someone help me !!

Hi cecebabymusik,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Try the specific steps below for the your iPod touch first:

If the issue is not resolved, you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:

I have recently begun to use Pages and want to transfer a document between the iPad and my PC. I can transfer to the iPad, but not the other way, and am told I do not have sufficient 'privileges'. What does this mean? Also I can't use iCloud with Pages between the iPad and PC, although I purchased extra storage in order to do this.

If you have a PC, you don't have Pages on it. You can transfer Pages presentations to/from iCloud via http://www.icloud.com , however -- you just won't have an app on your PC to deal with Pages documents. Make sure that you have your iCloud account properly configured on your iPad.

When I try to set up my time capsule it says that the PPPoE Server is not found... What does this mean and how do I fix it? Thanks !

When I try to set up my time capsule it says that the PPPoE Server is not found... What does this mean and how do I fix it? Thanks !

You are using PPPoE but there is no server to authenticate against.. or the modem is already connected and nothing else can join.
Is this ADSL?
Do you have the modem in bridge?
How does it work with the modem working as router? ie what type of connection does your ISP supply.. eg PPPoE is only one.. PPPoA is another.. IPoA or ETHoA.. and sever other more specialised.. PPPoE can only work where it is supported.

Thank you for your time and help.
Sorry.

My WiFi network is connected on my PC but it would not locate the network nor be connected to my ITouch wat can I do to fix it, it did not work ever since I went out of town how can i fix it let me know soon thanks

Try turning Wi-Fi Off/On from Settings, if it still doesn't show up try Resetting Network Settings on the iPod touch.
You can also try unplugging the Wi-Fi router and then plugging it back in to restart it.
WTH.

DiskWarrior: "not enough contiguous space"? -What does this mean??

Having issues, cannot reboot, after software update. Grey screen + Apple comes up, but no wheel and no further booting.
I'm able to boot from the DW CD.
Hard drive capacity is 74.41GB/ available space 21.81GB.
Graph of hard drive shows 5% out of order.
I rebuilt the directory which shows NO changes to the number or contents of files and folders... BUT...
"There is not enough contiguous free space for a fail-safe replacement of the directory. It is highly recommended that you create 132 MB of contiguous free space before replacing the original directory."
So what does this mean? Contiguous free space on the hard drive or in RAM?
(The hd doesn't seem to make sense, since it shows over 21GB of available space.)
I've ordered a new 1GB RAM module which should arrive Friday, but should I install this when the computer won't even boot on its own?
Help! I'm stuck and don't know what to do next. I have no idea how to go about creating 132 MB of contiguous free space.

DW is telling you it needs 132MB of contiguous — i.e., unfragmented — hard drive space. Apparently you don't have it, because all your free hard drive space is fragmented into segments smaller than 132MB. With nearly 21GB of free space in all, that's very surprising. It suggests that the files using space on your drive must be much more fragmented than is common in OS X, which defragments most files automatically without any input from you.
Ideally, what you would do to defragment everything on your drive, including the free space, is clone that drive to an external hard drive, and then clone the external drive back onto the internal drive. The second step in that process would erase the internal drive and then write everything back to it in unfragmented form.
But to do that, you'd have to be able to start the Powerbook up from a source disk that contained a cloning utility and enabled you to use it. The simplest way of doing that would be to have an external drive divided into two partitions: one small partition with an OS and a cloning utility (and perhaps other disk utilities) installed on it, so you could start up from it, and another larger partition of a suitable size for cloning the internal drive to: i.e., about the same size as the internal drive, or at a minimum, 10% larger than the amount of space that's actually used on the internal drive. If you don't already have such an arrangement, you're in no position to create one now except by going out and buying an external Firewire hard drive.
